Irish launch for Kickstarter funding community

The world’s largest funding community, boasting backers from every nation on earth, is this morning launching in Ireland.

With more than $1bn (€771m) pledged to almost 70,000 funding projects over the last five years, Kickstarter is coming to Irish shores on the back of significant success to date.

While Irish users have been able to launch funding campaigns on the site up to now, the process is about to become substantially easier from today, according to Kickstarter spokesperson, Julie Wood.
